Bajaj Auto, on India’s 67thRepublic day, announced the arrival of their new bike, the Bajaj V. This bike, they claim, will be made of materialscavenged salvaged from INS Vikrant itself.

INS Vikrant, a half-built majestic class British ship, was the India’s first aircraft carrier and served a large helping of utter defeat and humiliation to the Pakistani army in the war of 1971. It was basically India’s first purchase of an incomplete vessel before we managed to get the burnt out husk of Admiral Gorshkov from theRussiannavy.

There are concerns that in an age where manufacturers are trying to reduce the weight of vehicles, how this bike will measure up if it is made of reinforced metal used to build an aircraft carrier. Chief Designer at Bajaj, Arvind ‘Auto’ Agarwal allayed fears saying, “Oh that isn’t a concern. We bought this ship off the British and they used cheap steel to build it. The bike is light as a feather, has the looks of a killer!”
